a speculation in how he might have been thinking
"You are my closest friend, perhaps my only friend,
and you are safe with that relationship,
and there is nothing that can change it ever.
Powerless is every slander, you have been enough subjected
to that worst humility, a woman's reputation
is her only asset and the only thing she has,
you were bereft of it completely long before you met me;
but instead, and listen carefully, you have acquired
something much more to be envied.
By your knowledge of so many men
you know them, you have all their souls in your possession,
you know man like man can never know himself,
and therefore I esteem you higher than the most respectable of women.
Therefore you shall be forever under my protection
and considered the most honoured among women
second only to my mother,
who is just another fallen Mary like yourself.
Remember, I am but a bastard out of wedlock
who has taken on myself this Messianic mission
only since I am the only person qualified to do it,
so it is just my responsibility
that I have to accept, or fail humanity,
which would be a much worse deception
than to make a king out of this bastard.
You are then the sister of my destiny,
a bastard seeking comfort in a fallen woman
of some prominent experience, and you must admit
we match each other well. We do not even need the ceremonies
and the superfluous complexities of sex to prove it.
And in this my highest possible regard of you two fallen women
closest to my heart, I promise you,
shall every woman of all ages be secured and blessed,
worshipped and protected in my name."

Jesus to Mary Magdalene
"You are my closest friend, perhaps my only friend,
